A Cool, Cloudy Start Turns to Sunshine in Fort Severn Territory
Wednesday Begins Mild with Sunshine Breaking Through
It’s a mostly cloudy but promising morning in Wasaho Cree Nation, where the day begins at 11.8°C as of 8:00 AM, observed at nearby Fort Severn Airport. With 74% humidity, it feels comfortably cool — the kind of refreshing northern summer morning that’s perfect for an early walk or lakeside coffee. Winds from the west are blowing at a steady 17 km/h, adding a fresh breeze to the air, while visibility stretches a solid 16 km.
The barometric pressure is 101.9 kPa and steady, indicating that things are stable for now — and indeed, skies are expected to clear with mainly sunny conditions through the day. Temperatures will climb to a pleasant high of 19°C, which might not sound hot, but with the sun shining and a UV index of 6 (rated high), you’ll still want to slap on some sunscreen if you’re heading outdoors.
Tonight & the Days Ahead: Warming Up Rapidly
Tonight will be partly cloudy and seasonably mild, with a low of 10°C — ideal conditions for an evening walk or a bit of skywatching if the clouds cooperate.
By Thursday, summer kicks in more noticeably. Expect sunny skies, with winds shifting to the southwest and picking up to 30 km/h by morning. The high will jump to 24°C, and the humidex will make it feel like 25°C, bringing real warmth to the region. The UV index remains high at 6, so sun safety still applies. Thursday night brings a few cloudy periods and a balmy low of 15°C.
Friday could be the week’s sunniest day, with clearing skies and a high of 27°C, perfect for outdoor plans, travel, or just soaking in the warmth. However, clouds roll in Friday night with a 40% chance of showers and a mild low of 14°C.
Saturday stays cloudy, with a continued 40% chance of showers and a high of 22°C, tapering to a 60% chance of showers Saturday night and a low of 10°C. It’s a mixed bag, but at least it’s warm and not stormy.
What to Wear: Layers Now, Short Sleeves Tomorrow
Today’s outfit forecast calls for light layering — a windbreaker or fleece in the morning, but nothing too heavy. As the day warms, you’ll want breathable clothing and some sunglasses. Starting Thursday, it’s safe to shift fully into summer mode: short sleeves, hats, and plenty of hydration. And don’t forget the bug spray — it’s officially that time of year.
